In total, the terror group has now released 40 Israeli hostages — nearly all of them women and children — to Israel as part of an agreement that includes a ceasefire in Gaza.

After delays, Hamas releases another 13 Israeli and 4 foreign hostages, including 9-year-old Emily Hand

Hamas scheduled the release for the afternoon and then delayed it. International intervention salvaged the deal.
